Preparation

The keys to a successful chopped salad: chop all the ingredients to approximately the same size; make sure your lettuce is not wet; then dress all the ingredients together before serving so each forkful is perfectly seasoned!

In a large salad bowl, gently toss the prepared romaine, cucumber, bell pepper, black olives, tomato, red onion, and cheese with the dressing. Taste for salt and pepper, then garnish as you wish.
